Hunting 81: Gathering Goods in the Mountains, I Spoil My Ex-Wife to the Extreme

Seeing that Liang Laodu was nearly sixty years old and his hair was mostly white, yet he could still hold a gun and shoot, hitting a fleeing rabbit several dozen meters away steadily, Li Yunshan couldn't help but shout "Good!"

"No good, I can't compare to back in the day. I remember when I was young, I could snipe Japanese soldiers from 300 meters away. Don't think I'm bragging, I was a famous sharpshooter in our unit back then. I sniped three lieutenant colonels and more than twenty Japanese soldiers."

"With just this one gun skill, I've captured over a dozen Type 38 rifles, several Mauser C96 pistols, and a mortar."

Hearing Li Yunshan's cheers, Old Liang couldn't help but recount his experiences fighting the Japanese invaders back then.

Li Yunshan listened and nodded, occasionally expressing surprise or offering a business compliment to Elder Liang, which made Elder Liang smile.

Meanwhile, Li Yunshan, while accompanying Liang Lao on his hunting expeditions, constantly spotted prey and then drove it away.

With each gunshot, prey was hit and fell to the ground.

Wild rabbits, pheasants, roe deer...

In the blink of an eye, most of the day had passed. Old Liang had already killed five wild rabbits, seven pheasants, and a roe deer weighing thirty or forty pounds.

"What a pity, it would have been nice to encounter a wild boar, or even a wolf."

Looking at the abundant prey hanging on the carrying pole, Old Liang felt satisfied, but also somewhat regretful.

After all, he had fought against the vicious Japanese devils in the snowy forests of the past. Now, all he could hunt were wild rabbits, pheasants, and roe deer. He hadn't caught a single decent, somewhat aggressive prey, which made Old Liang feel quite regretful.

Could it be that I was able to fight the Japanese devils back then, but now I can only hunt non-aggressive prey like wild rabbits and pheasants?

"Old Liang, the forest area is so large that even if a whole herd of wild boars were released here, it would be difficult to find them."

As soon as Li Yunshan finished speaking, he suddenly felt the hairs on his body stand on end.

With his keen senses, he could feel that there was a pair of eyes nearby... no, at least several pairs of eyes were watching him and Old Liang.

"Old Liang, come closer, it's dangerous."

Li Yunshan glanced around warily, then spoke to Elder Liang.

"Danger?"

At this moment, Old Liang was still a little puzzled, because he also looked around but found nothing.

All around were trees that had lost all their leaves, and the ground covered with snow.

"Awooo..."

Just then, a wolf howled through the empty mountain forest.

"Awooo..."

"Awooo..."

Immediately afterwards, one wolf howl after another rang out.

Looking in the direction from which the wolf howls were coming from, Li Yunshan and Elder Liang discovered that a pack of wolves had appeared two hundred meters away from them.

From a distance, the pack of wolves appeared to number around twenty, all of them adult gray wolves.

"Good heavens, we've run into a pack of wolves."

Upon seeing the wolf pack appear in the distance, Old Liang was not afraid at all; instead, his face lit up with excitement.

"Mr. Liang, aren't you afraid?"

Li Yunshan asked.

"What's there to be afraid of? Back in the day, I fought the Japanese devils. No matter how scary wild wolves are, are they scarier than the Japanese devils?" Old Liang smiled and gripped his Type 38 rifle tightly. "Besides, we still have guns, and we have plenty of bullets. These twenty or so wild wolves aren't even enough for us to mow down."

"Haha, there's really nothing to be afraid of."

Li Yunshan was not afraid to begin with, and hearing what Elder Liang said made him even more heroic.

Moreover, wolves are no good creatures either; they often come down from the mountains in winter to steal lambs raised by local people.

Just now, Old Liang was talking about wanting to hunt wolves or wild boars.

No sooner had I finished talking about it than the wolf came knocking on my door.

"Old Liang, should we fight closer, or should we fight now?"

Li Yunshan glanced at the wolf pack in the distance and found that the beasts were still standing there motionless, watching them. So he asked Old Liang.

"They must have come by smelling the blood of our prey. They're probably starving. We don't need to let them get close before we shoot. We'll shoot now."

"As soon as we hit them, the wolves will think we are provoking them, and since they are hungry, they will definitely charge at us."

Facing the wolf pack in the distance, Old Liang remained calm and analyzed the situation with a hint of excitement in his voice.

"Then I'll shoot."

As Li Yunshan spoke, he raised his gun and aimed at a wild wolf in the distance among the wolf pack.

On the other side, Old Liang also raised his gun and aimed.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Gunshots rang out one after the other, bullets whistling through the air.

In the blink of an eye, two wolves in the pack two hundred meters away were shot and fell to the ground.

Crimson blood flowed from the bullet wound, running down the wolf's fur and onto the pristine snow, slowly spreading across the ground.

"Awooo..."

Seeing its companion fall to the ground after being shot, the alpha wolf let out an aggressive howl.

The remaining wolves all howled.

The chilling howls of wolves echoed through the mountains and forests, startling the birds and beasts that were hiding there. They immediately emerged from their hiding places and fled in the opposite direction.

At this moment, Old Liang smiled slightly, showing no sign of nervousness: "Little Li, let's have a contest, father and son, to see who can kill more wolves. What do you think?"

"Alright, Elder Liang, that's exactly what I was thinking too." Li Yunshan immediately nodded in agreement.

He spent most of the day in the mountains today assisting Old Liang, and didn't catch much prey. He was really getting restless.

Now that these wolves have come knocking on his door, it's a perfect opportunity for his Mosin-Nagant to have a taste of meat.

Besides, although wolf meat doesn't taste good, its fur is valuable.

Seeing so many wolves, Li Yunshan felt as if he were seeing a walking, talking banknote.

At this moment, the wolf let out a long howl and then charged towards their direction.

However, the wolves did not charge blindly. Instead, as if they had practiced countless times, they used the obstacles in the mountains and forests to cover their tracks and rapidly approach Li Yunshan and Elder Liang.

"Bang!"

Old Liang fired a shot, but missed the wolf.

"Bang!"

Li Yunshan fired a shot, which hit a wolf.

But the wolf's fall to the ground failed to attract the attention of the other wolves, as if its death was not worth mentioning at all.

"These beasts are truly cold-blooded. Their own companions are falling right in front of them, and they don't even stop for a moment." Old Liang loaded a bullet, raised his gun, aimed, and pulled the trigger.

With a loud "bang!", a wolf in the distance was shot and fell to the ground.

"Wolves are extremely difficult to deal with. Once they set their sights on their prey, they will never give up easily. Today, in this freezing weather, they are starving, and we have killed their companions. Perhaps in the minds of these beasts, they have already formed a mortal enemy relationship with us."

As Li Yunshan spoke, he cocked a bullet, his sharp eyes fixed on the wolf running in the lead.

As for the alpha wolf, now is not the time to kill it.

There's an old saying that goes, "To catch a thief, first catch the king," meaning that if you capture or kill the leader, the rest of the rebelling henchmen will naturally scatter.

Their current goal is to hunt down as many wolves as possible. Once they kill the alpha wolf, the rest of the wolves will surely scatter.

Therefore, the alpha wolf cannot die until the rest of the wolves have been killed or frightened.

"Awooo..."

"Awooo..."

The howls of wolves echoed through the mountains and forests.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Whenever a gunshot is heard, it usually means that a wolf has been shot and fallen to the ground, or has been wounded.

Thanks to Li Yunshan and Liang Lao's efforts, the number of wolves is decreasing at an alarming rate.

Fifteen heads... eleven heads... nine heads...

As the number of wolves dwindled, the remaining wolves drew ever closer to Li Yunshan and Elder Liang.

Fifty meters... forty meters... thirty meters... twenty meters... ten meters...

When the wolves were only ten meters away from Li Yunshan and Elder Liang, the pack of over twenty adult wolves was reduced to just the largest and fiercest alpha wolf.

At this moment, the alpha wolf grinned, revealing a pair of gleaming white fangs, and lunged at Old Liang's neck.

Just then, Old Liang pulled the bolt, but failed to chamber a bullet.

Because his Type 38 rifle was out of bullets.

"Damn it."

Seeing the alpha wolf charging at him, and realizing his gun was out of bullets, Old Liang couldn't help but curse.

Just then, Li Yunshan reacted quickly, grabbing Liang Lao by the collar and pulling him to his side, narrowly avoiding the alpha wolf's attack.

After dodging the alpha wolf's attack, it turned around as soon as its front paws touched the ground, preparing to counterattack again.

But before the wolf could leap up again, a shot rang out.

"Bang!"

At a distance of less than five meters, the bullet was fired from the Mosin-Nagant's barrel and landed squarely on the alpha wolf's head.

"puff!"

Blood splattered as the bullet lodged in the alpha wolf's skull, instantly killing the largest wolf.

Seeing the alpha wolf's blood flowing from the bullet hole in its head, Old Liang was still somewhat shaken.

Just now, he was almost pounced on and bitten by the alpha wolf.

Fortunately, Li Yunshan reacted quickly and pulled him away, allowing him to escape the wolf's attack.

"Phew, that was awesome! So awesome!"

After letting out a long sigh, Old Liang looked at the wolf carcasses stretching out in front of him and couldn't help but shout with satisfaction.

Li Yunshan glanced down at the pack of wolves, then at Old Liang, and thought to himself, "You've had your fun, but I don't have many bullets left."

We need to get more bullets from Director Zhou.

After all, it was Director Zhou who brought him here to protect Old Liang while he hunted, so all the ammunition consumed in the process should naturally be reimbursed by Director Zhou.
